I can’t tell you how many clients I’ve had that have come into the salon and they’ve
ripped off the gels that I’ve put on them, and their nails are all brittle, and flaking, and completely damaged.
So one of the options I provide to the clients who tend to rip off their gels and damage their nails
is OPI Gel Break.
Not only do I offer this as a service to my clients,
but I can also retail it to them as a system they can use on themselves when they go back home
and need to treat their damaged nails in order to get it
healthy again for gel application in the future.
The first step to the Gel Break system is the Serum,
which has a really nice shimmery finish to it that helps sort of camouflage any of the damage that has been done to the nail plate.
It also works really well as a base coat, and it helps give longevity to the whole system.
The second step to the system is the color, and there are three options.
All three are sheer colors that help hide imperfections further.
My favorite is the color Properly Pink,
and this one gives a really nice, healthy look, and a nice pink sheen to the nails,
without adding too much opacity or color on it.
To finish out the whole look I use the protector layer, which is the Top Coat,
and in addition to providing strength,
it also gives a nice glossy finish to the whole manicure.
So if you have clients who come in after having peeled off their gels,
this is a great system that you can offer to them
to help rescue their nails from super damaged to healthy again.
So I hope this information helps you when dealing with clients who also peel off gels,
and I would highly recommend Gel Break as an option for them.
So one of my favorite OPI classics is Nail Envy.
It is one of the most widely known and highly recommended product,
and anyone who wants to wear their natural nails
and not break them, this a great option for them to use without having to wear gels.
I’ve gotten great results using Nail Envy as a nail strengthening product,
and I have no reservations when recommending it to people who are also looking for a nail strengthener.
Even though Nail Envy Original is one of the most popular options out there,
I personally prefer the Soft & Thin version,
because this version of Nail Envy is specifically targeted for people who tend to have softer
and thinner nails that bend more, and this will help give it that extra strength that they need.
Another favorite of mine is the Nail Envy Matte version.
A lot of people don’t even know that this exists, but it’s a really great option for people who want
a more natural look because it doesn’t have the sheen that comes with the regular Nail Envys.
This is also great option for male clients who want a more natural matte look to their nails.
So the last favorite Nail Envy that I wanted to mention
is the color options that they have to offer.
They come in a range of few cover, like kind of nude, natural tints and sheer colors,
and this one is a personal favorite. This is the Samoan Sand,
and it’s already a very widely known classic OPI color,
but this version also provides strength on top of giving it a very nice, natural, nude finish.
This is great for people who are looking to camouflage damage, or have maybe discolored nails,
and do not want to just use a regular nail polish,
and want to go with a more strengthening system.
So these are my favorite Nail Envys, and they can be used stand-alone, by themselves, as a clear coat,
and they can also be used as a base coat under a color application.
So when choosing an Infinite Shine Treatment Primer,
you have 4 different options,
and I like to take a look at my client’s nails and decide which option is going to work best for them.
So if my client happens to have maybe yellowing nails, or dull nails,
I’m going to go with the Brightening Primer.
This primer helps to instantly whiten, and given a fresh, clean appearance to the nails.
If my client has ridges, or perhaps some damage,
I’m going to choose the Ridge Filler Primer.
This is going to help fill in the ridges or any little divets, and it’s going to help me not only
apply a smooth application of the color, it’s also going to help the Infinite Shine manicure last longer.
If my client has weak or splitting or peeling nails,
I’m going to use the Strengthening Primer.
This Strengthening Primer will help the nails feel stronger throughout the wear of the wear of Infinite Shine manicure.
